I wanted to write this in a footnote, but then this piece would have been too long for email. The Death Cab for Cutie Song, "Tiny Vessels" was one of the first songs of Transatlanticism that I fell in love with. The lyrics are "I spent two weeks in Silverlake // the California sun cascading down my face // there was a girl with light brown streaks // and she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me // Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me." Absolute roast by Ben Gibbard, this entire song is essentially how he told her he loved her but lied to her face. Amazing song, you should all listen if you're feeling any sort of emotion.
